Its fully grown body will attain more than 80 em in mantle length or more than 19 kg in weight and its robust body with the enormously developed fins makes it quite distinct from all other teuthoidean cephalopods; these features seem to deserve well of its being called a noticeable creature in the ocean. This cephalopod is found rather frequently and in a moderate quantity in certain districts of Japan and well known to local fishermen by various Japanese names such as "taru-ika" (barrel squid), "hako-ika" (box squid), "sode-ika" (sleeved squid), "kasa­ ika" (umbrella squid), "aka-ika" (red squid), etc. However, it is apparently very scarce in other parts of the world, being recorded outside the Japanese waters so far only from the Mediterranean (TROSCHEL 1857; JATTA 1896; NAEF 1921-28; etc.), the waters around Madeira (REES & MAUL 1956) and the Cape of Good Hope (BARNARD 1934), and almost nothing is known of its life history including migration, behavior, life span, etc.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.
